One-on-one on Wednesday, DP, Jake Bach-Oven. We are going to go short here because AJ is running a couple of minutes late, so we're going to save some time for him. Y'all are here to hear him, not me. So I am going through. We'll set the table for it and then come back and have you meet AJ Ferrari. From the tech scientist, Wednesday, coming on. Just a matter of moment.

And is he going to wrestle heavyweight? Yes. A part of his story is the journey and the selection and choice to be able to do this, that he will move from 197 to heavyweight. And then the transition, the body transformation is big. I mean, that's a huge, huge jump. But he is such a unique athlete and such a unique person that he was, as the story goes, his diet is pretty ridiculous.

And of course, I will ask him about that diet as well. But the man is an eating machine as much as you can consume. But his body fat, in gaining the weight, his body fat, I mean, I think he said he was at like 11%, which is still phenomenal. He's going to actually gain more weight and then cut down, but he's still working out three times a day. And even in the all season plus camps, he is a soldier to the discipline side of this thing. And again, part of the discussion with him is having him break down those things,

who he is and how he goes about his business and then what he brings to Nebraska, because he's adding to the number two program in the country. Nebraska will be ranked number two going into the season, I would imagine, second or third. He certainly adds to that, and he fills in a spot in the lineup. Listen, love Harley, but you have a national champion now in the heavyweight. And when you, when you're going through those bigger, bigger weight classes to have hammers, to close out, uh, dual meets, et cetera, it's, it's important. It's important.

And it changes, we always used to say that, you know, points getting off the bus with your biggest guy. Well, now at the heavyweight division and again, if you don't have your Husker wrestling tickets, um, today's a really good day to do this. today's a really good day to just jump on the Husker website and get your Husker wrestling tickets. I know the season fans, a season ticket holders generally tend to renew and that's been done. But even if it's getting the general admission passes for the season,

I would suggest this is a really good time. Do that seven All-Americans and then the addition of AJ Ferrari just adds ton to the program. So here's what we do back. We'll go to break here and then come back. in a few minutes and AJ Ferrari will be in room with us when we come back. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch.
